Three eclipses, three paths, one sky
No other European country lives through three solar eclipses in so short a span. Here's how they lay out on the map.

Night will fall twice.
The first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Spain since 1905. The Moon's shadow enters through Galicia around 20:27, crosses the north of the country at sunset, and exits toward the Mediterranean and the Balearic Islands before 20:35, with the Sun only 2°–12° above the horizon.

The total eclipse of the south
Eleven months after the 2026 eclipse, the Moon again fully covers the Sun over Spain — this time in the morning, in the far south: Cádiz, Ceuta, Málaga and Granada.

The ring of fire that crosses all of Spain
The widest-reaching of the three: the annular path runs the length of Spain, from Huelva to Girona, with the Sun getting lower and lower until it sets while still eclipsed in the northeast.
